After a Drunk Driving Accident, Contact an Atlanta Attorney
If you were injured or if a family member died in a car accident involving a drunk driver, you may assume that the driver was irresponsible and should therefore compensate you for your losses. Irresponsibly drinking and driving often goes along with being uninsured or underinsured. Quite a few drunk drivers are found to have been driving on suspended licenses.
A detailed investigation into the circumstances behind the accident may reveal that the inebriated driver's irresponsible act was facilitated by a third party — such as a bar or restaurant that served him or her alcohol despite an appearance of being intoxicated. Dram shop laws allow for legal claims against these establishments which become "enablers" of drunk driving.

The first step is to contact us to schedule a free initial consultation with one of our attorneys. The second step is for us to launch an investigation into the causes and circumstances behind the drunk driving accident that caused the accident.
